I had to get Inkscape. I have used Illustrator for many years and have actually switched to Inkscape for most things. So give it a try.

I just made my hubby make a tutorial on how to do this last week. It's on youtube in HD!

Rate, Comment, and/or Ask questions on there. I think we're going to start making more tutorials on scal so subscribe to the channel to see when new videos will be appearing. We're going to try to build up a viewer ship.
But to let you know Photoshop can't save as SVG. If you are using an Adobe family member to save to SVG it will have to be Illustrator. But this tutorial is using the FREE inkscape.
What you can do is Photoshop save as JPG, and follow the tutorial in inkscape.
